hi chris here with a very fast e-scooter this is the splach twin and what do i see very fast
well it's got dual motors they can peak at a thousand watts each and it can get up to 55
kilometers per hour very quick it's got a 15.6 amp hour battery which they claim can get us
up to around a range of 55 kilometers not bad considering the size of it it does weigh about
24 kilos it has dual suspension dual drum brakes with electric brakes as well
and the size of the tires are eight inches these ones and they're solid hard rubber tyres so you
don't need to worry about pinch flex punches which is one of the achilles heels definitely
of a lot of the other scooters that i do review it has collapsible handlebars you can fold them
right down so you can fit it into smaller spaces like the trunk of a car boot of a car
and the handlebars they do also collapse in as in as well to aid in storage the twin scooter
does come really well packaged up a lot of padding around it received absolutely no damage in transit
which is definitely what i like to see so we do have on the right a little box which contains
our charger there is an instruction manual and a tool so no assembly is required however we do have
to tighten up a few things you need to spin around the brake levers tighten those up the throttle
and then the two buttons for the eco turbo mode the single and dual motor mode
so as mentioned our twin here does have a dual 1000 watt motors well they're actually 600 watts
but they do peak at 1 000 and both front and rear do contain drum brakes here so it's not using disc
brakes however it's a hybrid braking system because it's using both electric braking from
the motor and then those drum brakes the tyres are eight inches now they're solid rubber tires
they're about 2.36 inches wide or 60 millimeters and we do have front and rear suspension that does
work really well soaking up bumps the tread pattern of these solid rubber tyres is what
i would classify as a road tire street tire here so you definitely don't want to really be going
off-road with tyres like these even though it is a dual wheel drive scooter the height
of the deck does have reasonable clearance here so you can drop down curbs and housed within it
is our 48 volt 15.6 amp hour battery which should get us anywhere from about 35 kilometers up to
around 45 50 kilometers range out of the twin the splatch twin has rear brake lights and even side
lights now you can see at night here they're definitely visible they're not the brightest
lights and when you brake they do flash which is a nice added touch up the front we do have
another two additional headlights now these are bright enough to light the path ahead of you
you sometimes have the suspension blocking at least one of them when you're turning
and sometimes just going straight which is a little bit unfortunate so i wish they had a
higher placed headlamp but they don't with this model here and right here is where you will find
our charging port now the charge time of this 15.6 amp hour battery is around about seven and a half
hours the quality of the scooter is excellent it does have a very secure mechanism here and a
pin which is really strong that is locking the handlebars into place so they are collapsible
you simply need to pull on this lever here but there is this little security on the side that
you need to flick up so once you pull that out which does take a little bit of effort
you'll see then the handlebars can collapse right down and then they lock into place
now to get yourself set up again it's simply just pull on that lever again and it's a little bit
hard to get it out and then you just simply push it up but you have to push it up quite
firmly you hear a click and it locks into place and then flick down with a little security there
to make sure it's not going to go anywhere the scooter does have a tiny little kickstand here
it is sturdy it does not rattle around and supports the scooter's weight no problem
the handlebars do fold in so we've got this little mechanism right here that you need to slide
back and then you can simply drop the handlebars down so that means it makes it a little bit easier
to fit it into smaller places now is this design a weakness well so far it's holding up well it
doesn't rattle and it does feel secure and safe there's a tiny little bit of movement there in the
handlebar but overall it's not a concern for me so far testing it out we have these two buttons right
here so we've got eco mode which limits our speed to 25 kilometers per hour and it's a little slower
or turbo which has maximum acceleration maximum top speed and you can swap between single motor
which will just be the rear motor 600 watts or the 1000 peak or both of the motors front and rear for
maximum acceleration here we have our accelerator we've got our power on button so you can cycle
through the modes here so that's currently the odometer with 51 kilometers that i've done so far
we've got the voltage so 53.5 time trip and it goes back to the odometer you can see the battery
gauge right there so there are five bars and here at the top that's our gears so i'm in gear three
which is the maximum you've got gear one and gear two this is our speed and you can change this and
have it displayed in miles per hour probably my biggest complaint of the scooter is this screen
it's very hard to make out in direct sunlight it is backlit so you can see it at night time but in
bright conditions like now hard to see and it's currently flickering but it's only on camera to
do with my shutter rate now the positive of this model we do have an adjustable handlebar height
that is the maximum that you can raise it you can drop it right down depending on your height
road test time now so what is the splatch twin like to ride so it's not the longest
of decks we have but both of my feet can fit in here quite comfortably i'll just show you as i
ride off now so i've got enough room here that i don't feel like i'm crammed in now other scooters
that have this kind of power the twin up to 1000 peak motors would probably have a longer deck
maybe a bit of a larger battery but i do like this more compact size with this particular scooter
now it's certainly not an off-road scooter with these tyres because they're going to slip on any
loose gravel some light dirt and stones which i do have up ahead so got a few bumps here the
suspension does handle it really well and this is a bit of a rocky path up ahead so going over this
how is it going to handle it well not bad at all that's the suspension really does its
thing it soaks up all those bumps and even these little light bumps and ridges in the road here
not a problem at all for the suspension on the twin so cruising along in eco mode i'm
at the 25 kilometer per hour legal limit here in europe and it's very happy cruising along it's
very comfortable like this and you don't have that risk of spinning the front wheel if you
use the turbo mode and the dual motor mode the dual motor mode and turbo buy for the peaking
at a thousand watts there's a lot of power so in the wet that could actually be a little dangerous
so here it's very tame now for a speed test i'm in a relatively empty car park there should be
no traffic and no one walking about here so the top speed of this they say you can
get up to about 45 kilometers per hour now i do have it in the turbo setting angel motors
and gear 3 is the setting that i am using which is the top speed now i have found the
acceleration in the twin here to be super quick now watch this one two three accelerate front
wheel is spinning it's called that much power and i'm up to 30 kilometers 40 kilometers per hour 45
47 48 and that's it i don't really want to go any faster than that especially on eight inch wheels
so here we are with my climb test spot now this is very steep it's about 25 30 degree gradient
and this normally kills most scooters the ones i reviewed that had 350 500 watt motors
but it's been twin motor so right now i'm just in the eco mode and it's going up this
without any problems at all i'm doing about 23 22 kilometers per hour so i'll just tap
turbo and look at this i'm celebrating up this i'm gonna get up to now 30
40 kilometers per hour handling these climbs with absolute ease not a problem for the splatch twin
so it's all very well having a high powered fast e-scooter but what about
brakes it's very important especially at the speed you can get up to on this one
now i was a little concerned about the drum brakes so right now i'm at 40 kilometers per hour braking
not bad at all it's a combination of both mechanical physical drum brakes and then the
electric brake too from both of the motors so the braking i wouldn't rate as the best
but it is pretty good and i can comfortably stop when i need to and i don't feel any times like oh
hang on that wasn't good those brakes are a bit scary no it's not happened to me with the splatch
and what about a range of the splatch twins so me using mostly the twin motor mode and turbo and
not taking it lightly and easier on the battery at all i managed to get 27 kilometers out of a
single charge from that 15.6 amp hour battery now if you use the eco mode and just the single rear
motor i can easily see this thing going for at least 40 kilometers maybe even a little bit more
so the range is excellent i'm not the lightest rider either i currently weigh about 82 kilos
so if you're a little bit lighter expect better range and i did do quite a few climbs with it so
one of the things i like about the splatch here i do like the build quality the design of it i
think is really quite good i like the security little latch that we do have to fold it down is
quite secure and we don't have any play really at all on the front um handlebar there because a lot
of other scooters i've reviewed sometimes there's been a little bit of a play there clunking around
that's not present which is really good you can adjust the handlebar height you can pull
the handlebars in too as well with them and the brakes even though they're drum brakes i was
a little concerned in the beginning thinking oh this kind of power really should have disc brakes
and hydraulic ones at that mechanical drums it seems to work well because they're using both
of the motors there to also slow it down with the electronic the electric braking it's got so
climbing performance definite positive there this thing just blows me away at how quick it climbs
and how fast it is too on the street so in the turbo mode with the twin motors
and accelerating this goes up to about 30 kilometers in only around about two and a
half three seconds it's really quick and as you saw from my test it gets up to 40 and then even
50 kilometers per hour for any of you speed freaks out there that want to go really fast so it's very
powerful very quick so what are my complaints now my complaints of this model here are very minor
uh that is the screen this is a common issue with a lot of other e-scooters i review it's very hard
to make out this display in direct sunlight the lights on them so the rear brake lights
it's very hard to see that it's not as bright as it could be i wish they could improve upon that
that really is it other than that i think this is a fantastic e-scooter very powerful so
if performance is your thing you're sick of going up hills really slow or having to to actually kick
or push a scooter this is probably the one to get and it's a more smaller more compact lighter
portable design at only 24 kilos so thank you so much for watching my review here of splatches twin
